My 06 ram 2500 diesel was a base model work truck. The only thing I added was heaters to the seats, $100 well spent! If my kid hadn't wrecked the truck this fall I figured it would last me another 10 years.

I haven't replaced it yet. While I'd like to get a nice clean used truck, they seem to be priced much higher than I'm willing to pay for a used rig. I'll probably go with a new one this spring but am not sure if I'll go for another base work truck, or splurge a couple bucks for some features. I'm also debating going with a mega cab.
